Introduction to the trip to Ladakh: arrival in the Indian Himalaya<\/h3>\n

The trip to Ladakh will begin with our arrival in Leh, located at over 3,500 metres above sea level. From the very beginning, we will enter a high-altitude territory shaped by history and isolation. We will dedicate this first stage to acclimatisation. Thus, we will prepare our bodies for the rest of the journey.

In addition, their relative isolation has helped maintain their identity. Thus, this trip to India will offer an immersion into cultures little affected by modernity.<\/p>\n

Cultural diversity of the Himalaya<\/h3>\n
